they say some seemingly ludicrous stuff... promoting raw diets.. "cooking food kills 50% available protein"
but then they say awesome stuff like "vitamins wont cure diseases, but they trigger the chemical reactions in your body that will"

i take these films with a grain of salt

A PHD IN NUTRITION!?!?!?

what kind of careers are we talking about? probably very many but just throw a couple out there... i am not entirely sure if writing dissertations on nutrition is my game... speaking of which.. if and when you write one.. you gotta post it up man

Hey raynor, I think im done with keto now

I was thinking of maintaining weight now

what kind of diet numbers would i use? protein/carbs etc

I am just under 200 lbs, thanks

Hey ray!

Any insight on Gummy Vitamins?

They are so good

Hey there

Well not to throw the baby out with the bathwater, cooking food, especially meats, at a certain temperature will denature the proteins and break them down into single aminos which then are destroyed. There is wide criticism of OVERLY cooked meats for this reason. Please see this wiki article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denaturation%5F%25biochemistry


anyway - overall I haven't watched the movie, but if I did, I'm sure I could pick out a few things that are incorrect or arguable. There is always a slant to research no matter what. Especially when dealing with passionate sides - such as drug companies or the opposing side thereof.

Lastly...a PhD in nutrition can provide you a career as a CLINICAL NUTRITIONIST (this is the highest level of nutritionist available), as well as director of food/nutrition for a large program/company/hospital/etc, family health coordinator, and nutrition counselor. These are the highest paying jobs in the nutrition field.

If you are ready for MAINTENANCE, I would recommend that you calculate your BMR online. Once you have your numbers, say your BMR including exercise is around 2,200 cals a day. You will take in around 2,100-2,300 cals per day in the following format:

2,100-2,300 cals

200g protein
175g carbs (stick to all complex except for 30-40g simple carbs PWO)
80g fat (at least 2g unsat to ever 1g sat)

Sample meal layout:

Meal 1 - carbs/protein/fat
Meal 2 - carbs/protein/fat
PWO - protein followed up with simple carbs
Meal 3 - protein/fat
Meal 4 - protein/fat
Meal 5 - protein/fat (preferably casein protein from cottage cheese or a shake w/ peanut butter or olive oil)

make sure to get 3 large servings of veggies every day, as well as 3 servings of fruits.

Hey there.

Well they are basically candy with some added vitamins. Unfortunately the numbers they produce are very low compared to larger and less delicious multis. You would have to eat probably 4-5 times the amount of gummy vitamins to equal out to the regular vitamins which could be VERY expensive. They are great for getting kids to take their vitamins, but for adults, I would recommend sticking to a regular multi. If you wanted to continue taking these in ADDITION to a regular multi, be my guest, but I'd recommend regular gummy bears in that case for cost effectiveness ;-)

p.s. these are AMAZING and relatively healthy:

2300 would be fine with exercise considered. That site is fine for calculating your BMR.

Hey!

How intense should my ab workout be with pretty low bodyfat already? I feel they are not that visible when I don't flex them, or is this just a matter of getting even lower fat?

Could you give me an example of a good ab workout? It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just basic

Thank yoU!
